I'm thinking of including video clips in my online course. What quality can I expect?

W. P. Carey School of Business-Instructional Development Gro...
Current technology restrictions require that we make video for delivery over the web much smaller than the video you see on TV. Otherwise, it could take your students days to download one video! Because we will compress your video into a smaller file size, you may notice that video is somewhat choppy while the audio still maintains its quality. The speed and quality of internet connection will also affect the playback rate of the video and audio.
